1
00:00:05,760 --> 00:00:11,880
Speaker 1: Hour two on a freedom Friday the thirteenth.

2
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 2: I feel like that was a much bigger deal a

3
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:14,320
Speaker 2: long time ago.

4
00:00:14,400 --> 00:00:17,560
Speaker 1: I feel like the whole Friday the thirteenth, you know,

5
00:00:17,800 --> 00:00:19,720
Speaker 1: sort of I don't know what I want to call it.

6
00:00:19,760 --> 00:00:21,760
Speaker 1: Trope's not the right word, but I feel like it's

7
00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:23,480
Speaker 1: kind of lost its luster.

8
00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:26,920
Speaker 3: I remember as like a child and a preteen actually

9
00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:29,520
Speaker 3: being concerned yeah about it.

10
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:31,000
Speaker 2: It was something you had to pay attention to.

11
00:00:31,160 --> 00:00:34,000
Speaker 1: I wonder how much of that was actually attached to

12
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:38,000
Speaker 1: Max Ryman Representative Max Rymer in studio. My name is

13
00:00:38,040 --> 00:00:40,040
Speaker 1: John Justice. Here on Twin City's News Talk. We've got

14
00:00:40,040 --> 00:00:42,639
Speaker 1: Devin and the Master control booth next door. I wonder

15
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:50,040
Speaker 1: how much of the the whole Friday the thirteenth almost

16
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:53,800
Speaker 1: being like a holiday when we were younger, how much

17
00:00:53,800 --> 00:00:55,760
Speaker 1: of that was solely based off of the films?

18
00:00:56,000 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: Yeah? Right, has been had to have been part of it?

19
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, I can't, because I I mean, I know That's

20
00:01:00,760 --> 00:01:03,480
Speaker 1: how I found out about Friday the thirteenth was the original,

21
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:06,440
Speaker 1: the original movie, which I don't think that I've.

22
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:10,000
Speaker 3: Ever seen in its entirety, the first one. I'm not

23
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 3: sure i've ever seen it.

24
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:13,560
Speaker 1: I know I see some of the others, but that

25
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:17,839
Speaker 1: first one was too was too much of a straight

26
00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,840
Speaker 1: or at least that's my impression, is that that first

27
00:01:20,880 --> 00:01:24,119
Speaker 1: one is sort of too much of a straight horror

28
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:26,319
Speaker 1: slasher film that I'm not into. It didn't have a

29
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: lot of camp that the other ones did, so I

30
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:31,399
Speaker 1: kind of avoided watching it, especially when it came I

31
00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:33,080
Speaker 1: think it was late late seventies, right, and it was

32
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: in the first Friday the thirteenth came out.

33
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 2: It's got to be around there.

34
00:01:35,800 --> 00:01:37,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, And then you get to like, you know, Friday

35
00:01:37,400 --> 00:01:39,520
Speaker 1: the thirteenth, twelve, and it's Jason and outer Space for

36
00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:43,240
Speaker 1: crying out without it Suddenly now it's not quite as

37
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:44,880
Speaker 1: quite scary as it used to be.

38
00:01:44,959 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 3: You have to get Jason's childhood origin story. And there

39
00:01:49,040 --> 00:01:53,160
Speaker 3: I remember teachers talking about it actually just flippantly like ooh,

40
00:01:53,200 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 3: it's Friday the thirteenth, and I'm like, what.

41
00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:56,040
Speaker 2: Does that mean?

42
00:01:56,120 --> 00:01:59,000
Speaker 1: Yeah, now we fear longer than with stories about immigrations

43
00:01:59,000 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: and customs enforcement in instead, so.

44
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:02,840
Speaker 2: Let's go here.

45
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,200
Speaker 1: A part of the DFL's immigration package a handout of

46
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:11,480
Speaker 1: forty million of Minnesota tax payer money to pay people's rents.

47
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,400
Speaker 2: This is According to Fox nine.

48
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:17,239
Speaker 1: Lawmakers say the state has seen about four thousand eviction

49
00:02:17,400 --> 00:02:21,440
Speaker 1: filings through February, indicating a record pace for twenty twenty six.

50
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,959
Speaker 1: Now what's interesting about this is that actually contradicts official

51
00:02:25,080 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: information coming out of Minneapolis Man Baby Mey or Mom

52
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: Jean's Jacob Fry's office.

53
00:02:29,040 --> 00:02:30,200
Speaker 2: I'll get to that in just a second.

54
00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:33,480
Speaker 1: Democrats say it may get worse as a result of

55
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:39,040
Speaker 1: people staying home during the ice surge. Raw Senator Lindsey

56
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,600
Speaker 1: Port said, we're on the edge of an eviction crisis

57
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:43,680
Speaker 1: in Minnesota. We played a clip there a moment ago

58
00:02:43,919 --> 00:02:46,359
Speaker 1: where you heard from her and Bill Walsh from Center

59
00:02:46,440 --> 00:02:50,840
Speaker 1: the American Experiment. The bill is intended to address that

60
00:02:50,840 --> 00:02:55,640
Speaker 1: that all across the state to keep people stably housed.

61
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,080
Speaker 1: The Governor Tim Walls chimed in on this and said

62
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: that he said, let's get it done. In a post

63
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: on on x as well, this is not going anywhere, right,

64
00:03:04,440 --> 00:03:06,480
Speaker 1: given the given the given the makeup of the of

65
00:03:06,520 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 1: the House. This is all style over substance.

66
00:03:08,440 --> 00:03:11,760
Speaker 3: At this point, not going anywhere. It's another election issue

67
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:14,440
Speaker 3: that they're trying to run on. But this whole idea,

68
00:03:14,520 --> 00:03:18,120
Speaker 3: and by the way, Hey, credit, where credits do Jacob

69
00:03:18,120 --> 00:03:19,960
Speaker 3: Fry vetoing the Minneapolis bill?

70
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,360
Speaker 2: Yeah, let me get into that. Yeah, absolutely, maybe we have.

71
00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,400
Speaker 3: He's crazy, he's just less crazy than everyone else on

72
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 3: that city council. Well, it's unfortunate because he shows those

73
00:03:30,680 --> 00:03:34,440
Speaker 3: moments of clarity, you know he does. He does is

74
00:03:34,480 --> 00:03:36,960
Speaker 3: that broken clock you know can can be right twice

75
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:37,680
Speaker 3: at twice a day?

76
00:03:37,720 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 2: Analogy?

77
00:03:38,520 --> 00:03:41,400
Speaker 1: He shows those moments of clarity. There's just no consistency

78
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:44,960
Speaker 1: to it. It's almost like he ends up going against

79
00:03:45,240 --> 00:03:48,720
Speaker 1: what the majority of the Minneapolis City Council is trying

80
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 1: to do, Like it must be really bad if he's willing.

81
00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:52,400
Speaker 2: To go and veto it.

82
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: But his own data, because he ended up vetoing the

83
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:02,240
Speaker 1: eviction moratorium extentsion and his own data from his office

84
00:04:02,480 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: said what I had assumed on the show a few

85
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,120
Speaker 1: days prior, and that was these evictions don't just happen overnight.

86
00:04:09,160 --> 00:04:11,280
Speaker 2: They don't just happen in a month. The calls to

87
00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 2: evict somebody don't.

88
00:04:12,360 --> 00:04:15,240
Speaker 1: They happen over a long period of time, especially given

89
00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,120
Speaker 1: the rules that we already have and the laws that

90
00:04:18,160 --> 00:04:21,320
Speaker 1: we already have that are really on the side of

91
00:04:21,400 --> 00:04:25,239
Speaker 1: the renters over the over the landlords, and his data

92
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,039
Speaker 1: shows that yeah, these first off, the evictions were actually

93
00:04:28,200 --> 00:04:32,800
Speaker 1: down yes this year in Minneapolis, and he pointed to

94
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:34,640
Speaker 1: what I just mentioned and that you know, these were

95
00:04:34,680 --> 00:04:38,919
Speaker 1: happening long before I began Operation Metro Surge here in

96
00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:40,239
Speaker 1: the NITA state exactly.

97
00:04:40,279 --> 00:04:44,279
Speaker 3: The premise of the issue, like many DFL issues, is

98
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:46,440
Speaker 3: make believe it's just made up.

99
00:04:46,920 --> 00:04:48,920
Speaker 2: And in some.

100
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:51,400
Speaker 3: Cases you saw this a lot during COVID, whether it

101
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:55,880
Speaker 3: was the eviction moratorium, the student loan moratorium, you basically

102
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:59,120
Speaker 3: just had do nothing. People who are taking advantage of

103
00:04:59,120 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 3: the system. That is is ultimately what is happening here

104
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 3: where they're using this occasion of Operation Metro Surge to

105
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,839
Speaker 3: continue to just be a dead beat and not pay

106
00:05:10,880 --> 00:05:12,599
Speaker 3: your rent or pay your loans.

107
00:05:13,480 --> 00:05:17,080
Speaker 1: So what's interesting to me though, is that the Democrats

108
00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:23,159
Speaker 1: locally are attempting to roll this hand out to illegal

109
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:26,279
Speaker 1: immigrants into the issue of housing affordability.

110
00:05:26,320 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 2: I want to play a clip here.

111
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:30,920
Speaker 1: This is its Representative Zach Stevenson right now, Senators Axums

112
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:35,120
Speaker 1: Representative Zax Stevensence. Okay, so here's Representative Zach Stevenson. Yesterday,

113
00:05:35,120 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: this was posted by the Minnesota dfl on X.

114
00:05:37,800 --> 00:05:39,160
Speaker 2: Folks, this is a crisis.

115
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:44,440
Speaker 4: Minnesota was had a housing problem long before Ice descended

116
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:47,359
Speaker 4: upon our state, but that has made a bad situation

117
00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:50,920
Speaker 4: so much worse. And what we hear from Republicans, the

118
00:05:50,920 --> 00:05:54,000
Speaker 4: only response we hear is that people made a choice

119
00:05:54,680 --> 00:05:57,520
Speaker 4: to stay home, which would be laughable if it wasn't

120
00:05:57,560 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 4: so offensive.

121
00:05:58,839 --> 00:06:00,239
Speaker 2: Uh, No one in.

122
00:06:00,080 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 4: Minnesota chose to have Ice come to Minnesota. The President

123
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 4: made that choice, and we should remember that he made

124
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,160
Speaker 4: that choice because he wanted retribution.

125
00:06:09,400 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: And I posit real quick, So why I didn't have

126
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,279
Speaker 1: a choice in the matter. I absolutely supported it. And

127
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: if they had asked me, I would have said, yes, Ice,

128
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:21,200
Speaker 1: Please please come. And the retribution was one line in

129
00:06:21,279 --> 00:06:26,000
Speaker 1: a lengthy post that provided an abundance of information, context,

130
00:06:26,600 --> 00:06:30,719
Speaker 1: and truth as to why ICE was operating here in Minneapolis,

131
00:06:30,960 --> 00:06:35,040
Speaker 1: beyond Trump adding in the retribution aspect of it, which

132
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:38,320
Speaker 1: was kind of warranted considering how much the state had

133
00:06:38,360 --> 00:06:41,240
Speaker 1: pushed back on everything the president. The president had been

134
00:06:41,279 --> 00:06:43,159
Speaker 1: attempting to do. Here's a little bit more of what

135
00:06:43,240 --> 00:06:44,760
Speaker 1: Zach had to say against.

136
00:06:44,520 --> 00:06:45,360
Speaker 2: The state of Minnesota.

137
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 4: His words retribution, When you stay home because you are

138
00:06:50,480 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 4: too afraid to go to work because you are have

139
00:06:52,920 --> 00:06:55,800
Speaker 4: a legitimate fear that someone is going to arrest you

140
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,719
Speaker 4: just because of the color of your skin or because

141
00:06:58,760 --> 00:07:02,480
Speaker 4: of the accent you speak with. That's not a choice,

142
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:08,159
Speaker 4: and to suggest otherwise is ridiculous. House Democrats will make

143
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,400
Speaker 4: this bill a priority all session long because we will

144
00:07:11,440 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 4: stand up for those Minnesotans who had.

145
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,160
Speaker 2: To stay home because of ice.

146
00:07:15,240 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 4: We will stand up for them every single day, and

147
00:07:17,200 --> 00:07:22,200
Speaker 4: we'll use every tool in our arsenal to ensure that

148
00:07:22,240 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 4: people are.

149
00:07:22,760 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: Protecting It doesn't sound to me like they First off,

150
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't sound to me like they have a lot

151
00:07:26,960 --> 00:07:28,400
Speaker 1: of confidence is going to go anywhere as we were

152
00:07:28,400 --> 00:07:30,560
Speaker 1: talking about a moment ago. But at the same time,

153
00:07:31,400 --> 00:07:35,600
Speaker 1: to go and add the housing affordability that was a

154
00:07:35,680 --> 00:07:41,200
Speaker 1: problem long before Operation Metro Surge had taken place, and

155
00:07:41,280 --> 00:07:44,840
Speaker 1: to try to use that to bring about support to

156
00:07:44,920 --> 00:07:47,680
Speaker 1: handing millions to illegal aliens, to me, it kind of

157
00:07:47,800 --> 00:07:52,120
Speaker 1: undermines the severity of the situation. Why are you attaching

158
00:07:52,160 --> 00:07:55,400
Speaker 1: the housing affordability issue to this if you wouldn't need

159
00:07:55,440 --> 00:07:57,160
Speaker 1: to do that, if you had a strong enough argument

160
00:07:57,240 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: upfront in the first place.

161
00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:02,040
Speaker 3: What is handing for million dollars to illegal immigrants going

162
00:08:02,080 --> 00:08:04,400
Speaker 3: to do for a housing affordability? That is the question

163
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 3: at the end of the day, What isn't eviction moratorium

164
00:08:07,520 --> 00:08:11,360
Speaker 3: going to do for housing affordability? In many cases, you

165
00:08:11,400 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 3: have these landlords in Minneapolis and especially in Saint Paul

166
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:19,680
Speaker 3: who passed a cap on increases of rent year over year.

167
00:08:20,200 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 3: It's like, how do you think this is actually going

168
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:25,200
Speaker 3: to play out practically, because at the end of the day,

169
00:08:25,280 --> 00:08:28,520
Speaker 3: this does not do anything to fundamentally change the housing

170
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 3: landscape in Minnesota.

171
00:08:31,480 --> 00:08:34,280
Speaker 1: Let's get to a few of your comments on a

172
00:08:34,280 --> 00:08:35,040
Speaker 1: Freedom Friday.

173
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:41,400
Speaker 5: Good Lauren, John, Happy Friday at thirteen. You're right, it's

174
00:08:41,480 --> 00:08:44,760
Speaker 5: kind of lost its lustering. Maybe that's because we've lived

175
00:08:44,760 --> 00:08:47,560
Speaker 5: through the year of Friday the thirteenth, known as the

176
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,360
Speaker 5: year of COVID twenty twenty, and some of the stuff

177
00:08:51,400 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 5: that's happened since then.

178
00:08:52,760 --> 00:08:54,560
Speaker 3: And some of the stuff I have a great day

179
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:58,800
Speaker 3: Friday the thirteenth might be a reprieve actually from what

180
00:08:58,840 --> 00:09:00,400
Speaker 3: we've experienced the last five years.

181
00:09:00,440 --> 00:09:03,200
Speaker 1: It'll always be ingrained in my mind because Friday the

182
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:08,360
Speaker 1: thirteenth was the date of when I had my heart attack,

183
00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:13,679
Speaker 1: which ended up sending me on my heart journey throughout

184
00:09:13,720 --> 00:09:15,880
Speaker 1: the years. So it actually happened on a Friday the

185
00:09:15,960 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: thirteenth on the list friend of the show Pat had

186
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,640
Speaker 1: posted on X. Friday the thirteenth was a big deal

187
00:09:22,679 --> 00:09:25,480
Speaker 1: long before the movies. The origins of Friday the thirteenth

188
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,520
Speaker 1: are believed to have started because Judas was the thirteenth

189
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:31,319
Speaker 1: guest at the Last Supper, which was on a Friday.

190
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:36,280
Speaker 1: Also from the arrest and monitoring and marching of the

191
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:42,000
Speaker 1: Knights and Templar on Friday the thirteenth, October thirteenth, thirteen seven.

192
00:09:42,679 --> 00:09:46,600
Speaker 2: Good year to talk to or to read from. Thank

Speaker 2: is good year. You don't hear thirteen hundreds very much?

195
00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,160
Speaker 3: No, you hear fourteen hundreds sixteen A lot of sixteen hundred,

196
00:09:56,440 --> 00:09:59,719

Speaker 2: Yo, John.

200
00:10:05,400 --> 00:10:06,680
Speaker 5: My concerns with Friday the.

201
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,200
Speaker 6: Thirteenth as a child were the same as my concerns

202
00:10:10,240 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 6: with quicksand I always thought it was going to be

203
00:10:12,960 --> 00:10:15,480
Speaker 6: a much bigger problem, but it actually turns out to

204
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:17,199
Speaker 6: be Quicksand's not.

205
00:10:17,160 --> 00:10:17,559
Speaker 2: A big deal.

206
00:10:18,240 --> 00:10:20,040
Speaker 3: Oh, I thought I thought I was going to get

207
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:22,560
Speaker 3: when I was eight years old. I thought for sure

208
00:10:22,920 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 3: Quicksand was killing me one day.

209
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:25,760
Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, you're right.

210
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,120
Speaker 1: Quicksand growing up like whatever it was showing on a

211
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: TV or a movie, it's like the worst thing ever.

212
00:10:29,760 --> 00:10:32,719
Speaker 2: If you're in Quicksand, you're done your tea Quicksand.

213
00:10:33,559 --> 00:10:35,280
Speaker 3: And then you would have times where it was like, man,

214
00:10:35,320 --> 00:10:38,080
Speaker 3: the sun is going to burn out one day, and

215
00:10:38,120 --> 00:10:40,280
Speaker 3: I'm gonna be alive right when that happens, and.

216
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 2: I'll be stuck in Quicksand all right.

217
00:10:42,280 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 1: Coming up vacation music festivals while on state paid leave.

218
00:10:46,880 --> 00:10:49,280
Speaker 1: We've been talking about paid family medical leave this week

219
00:10:49,520 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: a number of different updates. He had John feeling again

220
00:10:52,679 --> 00:10:55,120
Speaker 1: from American Experiment, raising the question of whether or not

221
00:10:55,160 --> 00:10:57,520
Speaker 1: we're going to need another payroll tax later on this

222
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:58,440
Speaker 1: year to help fund it.

223
00:10:58,480 --> 00:10:58,959
Speaker 2: We'll talk with.

224
00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,839
Speaker 1: Max Rymer about this year here in just a moment,

225
00:11:01,040 --> 00:11:04,200
Speaker 1: I want to revisit the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce, the

226
00:11:04,240 --> 00:11:06,960
Speaker 1: comments that they made earlier this week. There's an update

227
00:11:07,000 --> 00:11:09,800
Speaker 1: that I have from Channel five plus. We we'll get

228
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,840
Speaker 1: into these gun bills moving through the legislative session, and

229
00:11:13,880 --> 00:11:17,040
Speaker 1: the fact that the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus was told

230
00:11:17,080 --> 00:11:19,560
Speaker 1: that they would not be able to testify on most

231
00:11:19,800 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: of the gun control bills taking place Today. We'll play

232
00:11:23,600 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: some audio from Brian Strausser from the Minnesota Gun Owners Caucus,

233
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:30,160
Speaker 1: and we'll continue to take your talkbacks on a Freedom

234
00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,000
Speaker 1: Friday the thirteenth.

235
00:11:31,080 --> 00:11:33,040
Speaker 2: Representative Max Rymer and studio.

236
00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,480

Speaker 2: I wanted to.

Speaker 7: Comment on that last callers competent about the quick fan.

245
00:11:57,640 --> 00:12:00,960
Speaker 7: When we were kids on the eighty eight, all dangerous

246
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 7: things we thought we would encounter in the real world

247
00:12:04,280 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 7: when we grew up.

248
00:12:05,800 --> 00:12:10,760
Speaker 2: Was Quicksand. I've actually never physically game quicksand I mean either,

249
00:12:10,960 --> 00:12:12,800
Speaker 2: but it wasn't every Carroo.

250
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:18,240
Speaker 1: Had a bit of a but yes, Quicksand just stepped

251
00:12:18,240 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: there with that quicksand it was a very scary thing. Yes,

252
00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,760
Speaker 1: it was Fin City's News Talk Am eleven thirty one

253
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:30,520
Speaker 1: oh three five FM. I should have read further into

254
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 1: the transcript from the friend of the show watch your

255
00:12:37,559 --> 00:12:41,240
Speaker 1: language people. It's funny to me because I don't even

256
00:12:41,280 --> 00:12:44,480
Speaker 1: know where you can find Quicksand I don't even know

257
00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:46,120
Speaker 1: where is it like.

258
00:12:46,160 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 2: In the jungle somewhere South America. I was gonna say

259
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:51,319
Speaker 2: South Minneapolis.

260
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:54,959
Speaker 1: I don't even know where you would even go and

261
00:12:55,720 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: locate Quicksand.

262
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:57,280
Speaker 2: You know what.

263
00:12:57,400 --> 00:13:02,040
Speaker 3: Another one was an irrational childhood fear that you were

264
00:13:02,080 --> 00:13:04,720
Speaker 3: taught in school, and I think it was because you

265
00:13:04,880 --> 00:13:07,800
Speaker 3: learned about it so much in school. It was quick

266
00:13:07,880 --> 00:13:12,960
Speaker 3: sand a triangle. Yeah, you were a kid. I thought

267
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 3: that when you fly over the Bermuda triangle, no matter what,

268
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,120
Speaker 3: you just get sucked into a vortex or something like that,

269
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:21,400
Speaker 3: or a demonic portal.

270
00:13:21,640 --> 00:13:24,120
Speaker 1: Yeah, that was a massive, massive deal. When I was

271
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,480
Speaker 1: a kid too.

272
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,959
Speaker 3: I thought quicksand or the Bermuda triangle. I thought that

273
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:30,000
Speaker 3: would kill me by twenty when I was like seven

274
00:13:30,080 --> 00:13:30,560
Speaker 3: years old.

275
00:13:30,600 --> 00:13:32,400
Speaker 2: Well, why has there been no follow up on that?

276
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:35,240
Speaker 1: I mean, now with all the technology that we have,

277
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:39,840
Speaker 1: you know, with starlink and satellites everywhere, and her ability

278
00:13:39,960 --> 00:13:44,000
Speaker 1: to you know, drop up online anybody's address and see

279
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,600
Speaker 1: the front of their house. How have we not gone

280
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:50,280
Speaker 1: and tackled the Bermuda Triangle and putting to rest the

281
00:13:50,320 --> 00:13:54,199
Speaker 1: mythology surrounding all of the individuals that apparently lost their

282
00:13:54,200 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: lives in the Bermuda Triangle.

283
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:56,960
Speaker 2: I think it is it.

284
00:13:56,960 --> 00:14:00,240
Speaker 3: I think it was overstated, probably like Quicksand, where I

285
00:14:00,240 --> 00:14:03,680
Speaker 3: don't know, one person dies in Quicksand every twenty five years,

286
00:14:03,840 --> 00:14:05,920
Speaker 3: But Bermuda Triangle is probably the same way there was.

287
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,040
Speaker 3: I don't know the history. There's probably two or three

288
00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 3: plane crashes, right, and then we assume that yes, there's

289
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:15,319
Speaker 3: a portal.

290
00:14:14,960 --> 00:14:18,319
Speaker 2: To a different universe in the Bermuda Triangle. All R,

291
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:22,360
Speaker 2: let's go back to the iheartradiot this morning. Good morning, gentlemen,

292
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:23,440
Speaker 2: on a freedom Friday.

293
00:14:23,560 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 8: I implore to get the friends of the show's help.

294
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,200
Speaker 2: Last night at work out of that.

295
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:35,320
Speaker 8: A discouraging or shocking moment where a colleague brought up

296
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 8: Trump really for no reason, said she's a liberal B word,

297
00:14:38,920 --> 00:14:41,920
Speaker 8: and then said that she hopes Trump would die so

298
00:14:41,960 --> 00:14:44,000
Speaker 8: that we can get our country back.

299
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:45,440
Speaker 2: What do we do with this?

300
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 5: People?

301
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:48,360
Speaker 8: If I reported her our organization so far left, I'd

302
00:14:48,360 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 8: probably get in trouble for reporting her have a nice day.

303
00:14:50,680 --> 00:14:52,600
Speaker 2: It is such a weird phenomenon.

304
00:14:52,880 --> 00:14:57,000
Speaker 1: I know, I'll keep a someone anonymous here, but I

305
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:00,400
Speaker 1: know of another individual who is working a part time

306
00:15:00,480 --> 00:15:04,840
Speaker 1: job and who randomly just had somebody at their work

307
00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: start bad mouthing Trump. I just added, just out of

308
00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:12,200
Speaker 1: out of nowhere. And I don't and I don't personally

309
00:15:12,280 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: know any conservatives that ever that ever do that that

310
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:17,480
Speaker 1: would ever go and start.

311
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:19,480
Speaker 2: To know workplace setting or.

312
00:15:19,560 --> 00:15:21,960
Speaker 1: Just out in public like in this case, it was

313
00:15:22,000 --> 00:15:26,360
Speaker 1: an individual working at a grocery store who was standing

314
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:31,040
Speaker 1: there with a customer who just started complaining about Trump

315
00:15:31,120 --> 00:15:32,520
Speaker 1: and prices and all that.

316
00:15:32,600 --> 00:15:33,640
Speaker 2: And it's just such a.

317
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: Weird phenomenon of individuals on the left who feel like

318
00:15:38,040 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: they have this free reign to just spout whatever they

319
00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: believe politically without any regard whatsoever about the other individual

320
00:15:46,880 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: and how they might feel about what it is that

321
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:50,840
Speaker 1: they are that they are saying.

322
00:15:51,040 --> 00:15:53,880
Speaker 3: No, if the veil wasn't lifted during the Charlie Kirk

323
00:15:53,920 --> 00:15:56,360
Speaker 3: assassination for many of you, like it was for me

324
00:15:56,840 --> 00:16:00,560
Speaker 3: about where we are at as a country, to see

325
00:16:01,200 --> 00:16:04,200
Speaker 3: people that I had one point in time broken bread with.

326
00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:06,880
Speaker 3: There were even people that I had at my wedding

327
00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:11,280
Speaker 3: once upon a time, prayed with, hung out with whatever,

328
00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:16,040
Speaker 3: to see how openly that was celebrated, or the false equivalencies,

329
00:16:16,280 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 3: the equivalent whatever that word is, that words one in

330
00:16:20,840 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 3: that situation.

331
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:23,640
Speaker 2: That was eye opening.

332
00:16:23,800 --> 00:16:28,080
Speaker 3: It was like, Wow, you can be boldly and proudly

333
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:33,400
Speaker 3: and openly psychotic, and almost half the country thinks that

334
00:16:33,400 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 3: that's acceptable.

335
00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:39,440
Speaker 1: I have a friend of the show a Republican state

336
00:16:39,440 --> 00:16:42,160
Speaker 1: to a senator who was texting me. I'll keep them anonymous.

337
00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:43,360
Speaker 1: They didn't say if I could say who they were.

338
00:16:43,400 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: I don't think they care. I guess I'm going to anyways.

339
00:16:45,400 --> 00:16:47,120
Speaker 1: They said I'm modern. They just texted me and said

340
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:51,360
Speaker 1: modern technology should have solved the luckness monster by now true.

341
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,080
Speaker 1: Getting back another one, keeping in theme with the freedom Fridays,

342
00:16:54,120 --> 00:16:55,560
Speaker 1: I just randomly changed topics.

343
00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:59,400
Speaker 2: Let's go back to the iHeartRadio app. Quickshand comes from

344
00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:01,080
Speaker 2: the old time movies.

Speaker 2: It was part of it. It was everywhere, though.

348
00:17:10,119 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: It was like it was like in every cartoon, somebody

349
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,600
Speaker 1: would at some point in time during a season encounter

350

Speaker 3: like a wasn't there a pretty dramatic quick sand scene

354
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:24,040

00:17:31,440 --> 00:17:33,880
Speaker 1: I remember going to the LaBrea tar pits in Los

Speaker 3: I don't know it's a quicksand here Minnesota.

Speaker 2: It's a leftist little idea to scare people. Yes, useless.

388
00:19:03,240 --> 00:19:05,840
Speaker 11: Quicksand must be a left eyed yet that you're all

389
00:19:05,840 --> 00:19:08,320
Speaker 11: going to seek in the sands, don't.

390
00:19:08,440 --> 00:19:12,600
Speaker 1: I don't recall quicksand being associated with like the Red Scare.

391
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:16,920
Speaker 3: And b extend didn't work. So they switched to climate change,

392
00:19:16,960 --> 00:19:17,600
Speaker 3: is what happened.

393
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:25,520
Speaker 1: Ended up co opting it. Okay, So my wife texted me.

Speaker 2: iHeartRadio. I talked, but I brought to you by Lindel Realty. Hey,

398
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,399
Speaker 2: good morning, John. Yeah, you're right, Oh my gosh.

399
00:19:40,560 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 10: The liberals feel incredibly entitled to tell you how they

400
00:19:46,040 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 10: feel politically at all points in time. They speak as

401
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 10: though everyone around them thinks like they do. And I

402
00:19:52,720 --> 00:19:56,080
Speaker 10: truly think that they believe that everyone around them thinks

403
00:19:56,119 --> 00:19:58,399
Speaker 10: like they do because they live in a silo and

404
00:19:58,520 --> 00:20:01,240
Speaker 10: only listen to those who say what they want to hear.

405
00:20:01,560 --> 00:20:04,040
Speaker 2: They're all idiots. That has to be it.

406
00:20:04,200 --> 00:20:07,840
Speaker 1: I mean, I've always experienced this as a as a

407
00:20:07,880 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 1: talk show host ever since my first talk show host, gig.

408
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:15,280
Speaker 1: It's you know, if I had a dime for every

409
00:20:15,359 --> 00:20:17,800
Speaker 1: time that I had an individual at the break room

410
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,119
Speaker 1: that would bring up their left wing views, knowing that

411
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:23,760
Speaker 1: I'm a conservative talk show host, it just do not care,

412
00:20:23,920 --> 00:20:27,480
Speaker 1: just with the assumption that this is the objective.

413
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,680
Speaker 2: Right right, exactly? All right?

414
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:33,240
Speaker 1: Coming up, we'll talk more with Max raymer Ak Kamara

416
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 1: get Max's thoughts on paid family medical leave. Turning out

417
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:41,639
Speaker 1: to be a disaster two and a half months, and

418
00:20:41,720 --> 00:20:43,000
Speaker 1: that we all expected it to be, and it is

419
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:45,600
Speaker 1: probably only going to get worse. We'll also get to

420

447
00:22:14,040 --> 00:22:18,199
Speaker 1: making his way up to the studio. Now, I have

448
00:22:18,280 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: to remember, how did quick you brought quicksand up arm

449
00:22:21,480 --> 00:22:24,040
Speaker 1: it rarely, it wasn't even like attached to anything because I, oh,

450
00:22:24,119 --> 00:22:26,119
Speaker 1: because I had mentioned it was right in the thirteenth

451
00:22:26,480 --> 00:22:30,200
Speaker 1: we were talking about miss you mentioned the Permuta Bermuda triangle,

452
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:34,040
Speaker 1: which I do have a few comments on. And then oh,

453
00:22:34,119 --> 00:22:35,760
Speaker 1: yeah our youth, and you were talking about how you

454
00:22:35,760 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: were scared of quicksands.

455
00:22:36,880 --> 00:22:40,240
Speaker 3: Yeah, he just were these irrational fears that were beat

456
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,320
Speaker 3: into you as a child.

457
00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:44,800
Speaker 1: We have so many other fears courtesy of the Democrats

458
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:45,880
Speaker 1: here in the state of Minnesota.

459
00:22:45,880 --> 00:22:48,440
Speaker 2: Now it's nice perhaps on your playground.

460
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: Yeah, So we'll get to your quicksand in just a moment, Max,

461
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:53,280
Speaker 1: I didn't want to ask you about this. Minnesota Chamber

462
00:22:53,320 --> 00:22:56,720
Speaker 1: of Commerce surveyed seven hundred employers about the Paid Family

463
00:22:56,760 --> 00:23:02,280
Speaker 1: Medical Leave program. Concerns included the administrative burdens, slow claim approvals,

464
00:23:02,400 --> 00:23:07,080
Speaker 1: staffing disruptions, cost concerns, with a notable call for program

465
00:23:07,200 --> 00:23:11,800
Speaker 1: changes to address the issue providers pressured by patients for

466
00:23:11,840 --> 00:23:14,879
Speaker 1: the full twelve weeks of leave even if their condition

467
00:23:14,920 --> 00:23:17,800
Speaker 1: does not require it. A number of respondents share their

468
00:23:17,840 --> 00:23:21,439
Speaker 1: employees are making more unpaid leave than the wage or

469
00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:25,280
Speaker 1: replacement thresholds in the law. Employees are going on vacation

470
00:23:25,440 --> 00:23:29,400
Speaker 1: or to music festivals while supposedly on leave. They don't

471
00:23:29,440 --> 00:23:33,040
Speaker 1: necessarily reveal fraud or a lack of oversight by the department,

472
00:23:33,080 --> 00:23:37,760
Speaker 1: but the concerns are highlighted, especially with the broad eligibility

473
00:23:37,840 --> 00:23:40,720
Speaker 1: limited employer recourse elements to the law. One more quick

474
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: note on this and then I just want to get

475
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:46,280
Speaker 1: your thoughts as well. So Channel five had reached out

476
00:23:46,359 --> 00:23:50,080
Speaker 1: to the Department of Economic Employment and Economic Development, deed,

477
00:23:50,600 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: they did not.

478
00:23:51,080 --> 00:23:52,400
Speaker 2: Get back to them.

479
00:23:52,640 --> 00:23:59,360
Speaker 1: Indeed, did write in essentially a statement saying that despite

480
00:23:59,400 --> 00:24:02,639
Speaker 1: the objective relating to the Minnesota Chamber of Commerce. The

481
00:24:02,720 --> 00:24:05,520
Speaker 1: Chamber has been a good partner in helping educate employers

482
00:24:05,560 --> 00:24:07,360
Speaker 1: about paid leave, so they obviously don't want to tick

483
00:24:07,400 --> 00:24:09,800
Speaker 1: them off. They say paid leaves should be used as

484
00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:13,919
Speaker 1: intended to support healing, bonding and caring. I had a

485
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:20,200
Speaker 1: listener that left a talk back relating to this, asking

486
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:24,840
Speaker 1: if wild rice being sent sentient, if you could actually

487
00:24:24,920 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: take paid family medical leave to well, yeah, to care

488
00:24:29,200 --> 00:24:33,040
Speaker 1: for it. Paid leave has controls in place to ensure

489
00:24:33,240 --> 00:24:37,200
Speaker 1: leave is used appropriately and can prevent fraud. If somebody

490
00:24:37,240 --> 00:24:41,359
Speaker 1: knowingly represents the truth or keeps important information from paid

491
00:24:42,040 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: paid leave, they have committed fraud and they will be

492
00:24:44,080 --> 00:24:46,960
Speaker 1: held accountable under the law. The other aspect I wanted

493
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,480
Speaker 1: to ask you about and then you know, to share

494
00:24:49,480 --> 00:24:52,080
Speaker 1: your overall thoughts on this is the fact that John

495
00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:55,080
Speaker 1: Feelin has suggested that the payroll tax is going to

496
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: have to go up later this year because it's not

497
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,840
Speaker 1: keeping up with a number of individuals that are that

498
00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,639
Speaker 1: are applying for this. So overall your thoughts on the

499
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: current status of paid family medical They created a threshold

500
00:25:05,400 --> 00:25:08,600
Speaker 1: by which they could increase the payroll tax to this

501
00:25:08,640 --> 00:25:11,439
Speaker 1: first time around, But what's going to happen is I

502
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 1: guarantee you we're going to come back next session and

503
00:25:14,640 --> 00:25:17,439
Speaker 1: we are going to hear about how so many people

504
00:25:17,560 --> 00:25:22,879
Speaker 1: utilize this program. It was so effective it don't worry

505
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,320
Speaker 1: that we ran out of money by June because so

506
00:25:26,440 --> 00:25:29,640
Speaker 1: many people were using it. And what's just becoming very

507
00:25:29,640 --> 00:25:35,840
Speaker 1: apparent is it is another government program. Whenever government rolls

508
00:25:35,880 --> 00:25:39,120
Speaker 1: out a program, it is not going to be as

509
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,720
Speaker 1: effective as an employer rolling out their own program or

510
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,720
Speaker 1: listening to their employees.

511
00:25:44,440 --> 00:25:45,879
Speaker 2: About what they need.

512
00:25:46,280 --> 00:25:48,800
Speaker 3: It's obvious that there's going to be that fraud that's

513
00:25:48,840 --> 00:25:51,840
Speaker 3: occurring because it's happening right now. But yeah, they're going

514
00:25:51,920 --> 00:25:54,560
Speaker 3: to increase this tax threshold and then god.

515
00:25:54,400 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 2: Forbid the DFL get control again.

516
00:25:56,520 --> 00:25:58,960
Speaker 3: They're going to come back and want to increase the

517
00:25:59,080 --> 00:26:02,000
Speaker 3: cap on the payroll tax because of how many people

518
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:04,359
Speaker 3: are using the program.

519
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:07,200
Speaker 2: Ak Kamara R and C. Commitey man, what's up, my friend?

520
00:26:07,359 --> 00:26:10,760
Speaker 2: Good morning. First off, do you have any experience with quicksand.

521
00:26:10,440 --> 00:26:14,960
Speaker 12: Listen as a millennial that's forty one, I watched the

522
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:19,560
Speaker 12: movie in which my favorite character, a tray you died

523
00:26:20,720 --> 00:26:23,960
Speaker 12: because of the quicksand the horse man, right.

524
00:26:23,960 --> 00:26:26,880
Speaker 1: It is as a matter of fact to that to

525
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:28,800
Speaker 1: that point, let's get to this just really quick.

526
00:26:28,880 --> 00:26:33,160
Speaker 13: Yeah, I don't exactly know what it was, but when

527
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,280
Speaker 13: our text disappeared in the swamp of sadness in an

528
00:26:37,280 --> 00:26:41,240
Speaker 13: everning story, that pretty much that pretty much falls in

529
00:26:41,240 --> 00:26:45,160
Speaker 13: line with the quicksand trauma history from my childhood.

530
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:49,040
Speaker 1: See somebody's actually gone and corrected that scene with AI,

531
00:26:49,440 --> 00:26:51,800
Speaker 1: oh really, where you could eat now actually gets the

532
00:26:51,840 --> 00:26:53,640
Speaker 1: horse out of the quicksand.

533
00:26:54,880 --> 00:26:59,000
Speaker 12: If we needed that traumatic experience of losing a horse

534
00:26:59,080 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 12: in the quicksand, which I honestly think set the scene.

535
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,639
Speaker 12: But you know what's funny is, you know there's all

536
00:27:03,640 --> 00:27:06,680
Speaker 12: these different shows out there that try and like break myths,

537
00:27:06,680 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 12: like myth Breakers, MythBusters, and then there's like other shows

538
00:27:09,640 --> 00:27:13,760
Speaker 12: like Adam Ruins Everything. And it turns out that quicksand

539
00:27:13,960 --> 00:27:17,440
Speaker 12: actually the phenomena of it occurring in nature, it happens

540
00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,359
Speaker 12: like whenever you have a water table and you have

541
00:27:20,440 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 12: any type of sandy substance, that happens, but like it doesn't.

542
00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:26,000
Speaker 12: It takes a long time actually for most people to

543
00:27:26,080 --> 00:27:29,119
Speaker 12: actually die in the quicksand so it's become more or

544
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 12: less an urban legend that then became popularized because the

545
00:27:32,520 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 12: idea is once you get stuck, there's no way to

546
00:27:35,280 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 12: get out, and so it's like, if you actually break

547
00:27:37,800 --> 00:27:40,640
Speaker 12: it down and look back, it's never been an actual

548
00:27:40,680 --> 00:27:44,120
Speaker 12: big issue other than like India and like certain areas

549
00:27:44,119 --> 00:27:46,480
Speaker 12: where there's just so many people that you get stuck

550
00:27:46,520 --> 00:27:48,399
Speaker 12: in there's no one I guess to be able to

551
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:49,840
Speaker 12: help you, and you're really to die.

552
00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:55,359
Speaker 1: Perfect analogy for Democrat policies. Once you get stuck in it,

553
00:27:55,400 --> 00:27:58,000
Speaker 1: you simply can't get out of it any anymore unless

554
00:27:58,000 --> 00:27:59,679
Speaker 1: you just continue to raise taxes.

555
00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:00,000
Speaker 2: Yeah.

556
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:03,159
Speaker 1: I again, paid family medical leave is going to be

557
00:28:03,160 --> 00:28:05,080
Speaker 1: a disaster. We're two and a half months in and

558
00:28:05,160 --> 00:28:08,399
Speaker 1: we're already seeing Minnesota Chamber of Commerce coming out and

559
00:28:08,440 --> 00:28:11,679
Speaker 1: saying this is bad news and the possibility of the

560
00:28:11,720 --> 00:28:14,400
Speaker 1: payroll tax SYKE having to go up later this year.

561
00:28:14,520 --> 00:28:14,760
Speaker 5: Yeah.

562
00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:15,760
Speaker 2: You know, here's the thing.

563
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,000
Speaker 12: When I like, I saw Fox nine did a story

564
00:28:18,040 --> 00:28:20,440
Speaker 12: on it about the Chamber of Commerce and their statements

565
00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:22,320
Speaker 12: because I guess there must have been a committee hearing

566
00:28:22,400 --> 00:28:25,000
Speaker 12: or something like that, and the thing that is so

567
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:27,560
Speaker 12: annoying to me, it's like I was like screaming from

568
00:28:27,600 --> 00:28:29,719
Speaker 12: the top of my lungs that this was going to happen.

569
00:28:30,040 --> 00:28:31,879
Speaker 12: And now that I see that, people are like, yeah, no,

570
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:34,719
Speaker 12: it's happening. It's like, yeah, I know. That's that's why

571
00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:37,199
Speaker 12: we've been saying it's going to happen. It's going to

572
00:28:37,240 --> 00:28:40,440
Speaker 12: be one of the most abused programs that has ever

573
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,360
Speaker 12: been created in Minnesota. And like even these anecdotal stories

574
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 12: of going to you know, concerts and taking time off

575
00:28:47,400 --> 00:28:50,240
Speaker 12: to go in protests, that's just like the tip of

576
00:28:50,240 --> 00:28:53,640
Speaker 12: the iceberg. Man, Once people realize how easy it is

577
00:28:53,880 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 12: between the Sick and Safe Act and then also family

578
00:28:56,840 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 12: paid family medical leave. Yeah, man, I mean, it just

579
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:01,760
Speaker 12: opens up the door and it's going to destroy small businesses.

580
00:29:01,800 --> 00:29:04,719
Speaker 1: So they can increase this up to one point one percent,

581
00:29:05,240 --> 00:29:07,200
Speaker 1: so that still has to be shared. Now that that

582
00:29:07,320 --> 00:29:11,320
Speaker 1: means that both the employee and the employer pays more,

583
00:29:11,600 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: just so it's going to go up for all of us.

584
00:29:13,360 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 2: Essentially if they have to raise the yeah, that's correct.

585
00:29:15,920 --> 00:29:18,880
Speaker 3: And then, like I say, just don't be surprised. Then

586
00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,360
Speaker 3: even after they raise it, the program is still going

587
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,560
Speaker 3: to go defunct this year. What they're going to do

588
00:29:24,600 --> 00:29:26,920
Speaker 3: next year is they're going to say that was a success,

589
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,880
Speaker 3: we had so many people use the program that we

590
00:29:30,000 --> 00:29:33,200
Speaker 3: actually need to increase the cap of the payroll tax

591
00:29:33,560 --> 00:29:36,840
Speaker 3: in order to fund this even more. That's the DFL.

592
00:29:36,880 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 3: They operate this way. They're basically saying that because a

593
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,600
Speaker 3: program gets abused, because so many people are using it,

594
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:45,400
Speaker 3: that it is a resounding success.

595
00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,960
Speaker 14: So let me get this straight. The Democrats are taking

596
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:54,080
Speaker 14: enough of our money already. Now we have to pay

597
00:29:54,120 --> 00:30:00,160
Speaker 14: for people's irrational fear to not leave their house. Do

598
00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:05,120
Speaker 14: these people hear themselves talk? This state is a ridiculous

599
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 14: laughing stock man.

600
00:30:07,400 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: And of course that's going back to the desire to

601
00:30:10,200 --> 00:30:13,160
Speaker 1: give forty million to those that are here illegally.

602
00:30:13,560 --> 00:30:16,560
Speaker 9: We might joke about the whole wild wild rice scenario,

603
00:30:16,680 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 9: but realize these guys are using this as a form

604
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:25,880
Speaker 9: of communism for redistribution of wealth and prevention of people

605
00:30:26,040 --> 00:30:29,600
Speaker 9: being able to build and have property.

606
00:30:30,200 --> 00:30:31,640
Speaker 2: That's what this is really about.

607
00:30:31,800 --> 00:30:36,200
Speaker 9: This is why they bring up having giving wild rice rights.

608
00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 9: It might be it might sound funny, but it's another

609
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:42,640
Speaker 9: way to take away Americans' freedoms.

610
00:30:42,840 --> 00:30:45,080
Speaker 1: We talked about this at length on the show yesterday,

611
00:30:45,080 --> 00:30:49,200
Speaker 1: But the whole wild rice, you know, Native Americans believe

612
00:30:49,280 --> 00:30:52,640
Speaker 1: that this is a living being and and a relative.

613
00:30:52,760 --> 00:30:55,720
Speaker 1: And so you have Democrats that are trying to codify

614
00:30:56,000 --> 00:30:59,280
Speaker 1: into statute that it has in inerrant right to live.

615
00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:01,920
Speaker 1: To compare as we talk about the issue of abortion

616
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,479
Speaker 1: of Chris, they're right there in front of you.

617
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 2: But the left just simply doesn't care. It does not

618
00:31:06,160 --> 00:31:08,440
Speaker 2: matter to them. The issue is never the issue. The

619
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 2: issue is always revolution Like.

620
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,560
Speaker 12: Once you understand that that is true to the core

621
00:31:13,640 --> 00:31:17,600
Speaker 12: ideology of what is controlling the majority of the left

622
00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,040
Speaker 12: in this nation, then it makes sense, Like I had

623
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:24,280
Speaker 12: a conversation, because you'll find this among actual Marxist and

624
00:31:24,360 --> 00:31:27,040
Speaker 12: leftists that are just like outwardly proud of it. When

625
00:31:27,080 --> 00:31:30,880
Speaker 12: you ask them about Christianity, they're like, obviously, they think

626
00:31:30,880 --> 00:31:33,360
Speaker 12: it's an evil, evil, bad thing. If you ask them

627
00:31:33,400 --> 00:31:37,560
Speaker 12: about indigenous spiritual rights, they're like, well, no, these need

628
00:31:37,600 --> 00:31:40,440
Speaker 12: to be protected, right, So it's not about spirituality, it's

629
00:31:40,440 --> 00:31:42,520
Speaker 12: just about, Oh, if this is a minority group that

630
00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,080
Speaker 12: we can exploit to upend the current system of order,

631
00:31:46,600 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 12: then I'm in favor of it. But yes, listen, I

632
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:50,800
Speaker 12: grew up and I tell people this all the time.

633
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,960
Speaker 12: Ten miles from a Native American reservation, spirit like reservation

634
00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,520
Speaker 12: in devil's like North Dakota. And I can tell you

635
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:59,840
Speaker 12: that the majority, like I probably couldn't find ten people

636
00:32:00,080 --> 00:32:02,000
Speaker 12: that are so spiritual that they'd be like, oh, don't

637
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:02,800
Speaker 12: touch the wild rice.

638
00:32:03,080 --> 00:32:06,120
Speaker 2: This is my ancestors, my relatives. They don't believe it.

639
00:32:06,400 --> 00:32:09,440
Speaker 12: And so what happens is the left will take this

640
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:13,200
Speaker 12: ideology and then they will like use it to like

641
00:32:13,560 --> 00:32:17,800
Speaker 12: ham fist their positions to upend our current social order.

642
00:32:18,320 --> 00:32:21,000
Speaker 12: When you even go back to like the land water rights,

643
00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:25,320
Speaker 12: like the water protectors, as though simply by your genetic

644
00:32:25,400 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 12: material you have some obligation to.

645
00:32:27,760 --> 00:32:29,000
Speaker 2: Protect the land.

646
00:32:29,440 --> 00:32:33,000
Speaker 12: Again, find me ten indigenous people that actually believe it

647
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,760
Speaker 12: out of like the millions that exist, and I would

648
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:39,080
Speaker 12: be shocked and surprised because they're American man, and so

649
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:40,959
Speaker 12: I just think it's funny the left will use all

650
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:42,720
Speaker 12: this stuff. But at the end of the day, again,

651
00:32:42,960 --> 00:32:45,360
Speaker 12: the issue is never the issue. The issue is the revolution.

652
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,800
Speaker 12: That's what they're always going towards. They want to upend

653
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:49,840
Speaker 12: the current system and so they can put in their

654
00:32:49,840 --> 00:32:53,480
Speaker 12: current their new system of wealth, redistribution and communism.

655
00:32:54,040 --> 00:32:56,200
Speaker 2: Do we know just on the wild rice?

656
00:32:56,560 --> 00:32:59,560
Speaker 1: Briefly, so, do we know if that had I'm assuming

657
00:32:59,600 --> 00:33:01,040
Speaker 1: it's not going to go anywhere, because I mean, all

658
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 1: this stuff being talked about is we've not heard that

659
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:04,920
Speaker 1: that was just in a committee just in case, it

660
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: was just a committee hearing. But if it were changed,

661
00:33:09,400 --> 00:33:12,400
Speaker 1: has it been looked at as to what unintended consequences

662
00:33:12,440 --> 00:33:14,760
Speaker 1: that could have later on down the road, going back

663
00:33:14,800 --> 00:33:18,000
Speaker 1: to the talkbackers point of being able to control land

664
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: and things like that, do we know what kind of

665
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:20,200
Speaker 1: impact it would have?

666
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:23,360
Speaker 3: No, but one can assume that the primary attack is

667
00:33:23,400 --> 00:33:29,720
Speaker 3: on our agricultural industry, on farming and on natural resource regulation.

668
00:33:30,360 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 3: They'll be the first one to be hit. It's an

669
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:37,160
Speaker 3: inherent attack on our kind of thriving egg industry in Minnesota.

670
00:33:37,360 --> 00:33:39,960
Speaker 1: I have an email that came in justice at iHeartRadio

671
00:33:40,000 --> 00:33:41,560
Speaker 1: dot com if you'd like to email.

672
00:33:41,800 --> 00:33:42,800
Speaker 2: Question for your guests.

673
00:33:42,920 --> 00:33:46,280
Speaker 1: My company is putting the tax for the paid family

674
00:33:46,320 --> 00:33:50,360
Speaker 1: medical leave into a corporate account and it is not

675
00:33:50,440 --> 00:33:54,440
Speaker 1: going to the state still paying the tax, but into

676
00:33:54,520 --> 00:33:58,600
Speaker 1: our own account. Requests are made to the company managing

677
00:33:58,680 --> 00:34:01,160
Speaker 1: it and not to the state. Why are other companies

678
00:34:01,520 --> 00:34:04,960
Speaker 1: not doing this as well? To gain a little more control?

679
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:07,440
Speaker 1: I guess I'm unfamiliar with the ability to go and

680
00:34:07,480 --> 00:34:09,120
Speaker 1: do this. Are you have you heard of this?

681
00:34:09,520 --> 00:34:13,320
Speaker 2: I keep your name private and talk to your attorney

682
00:34:13,360 --> 00:34:14,600
Speaker 2: on that one. Yeah, because I don't.

683
00:34:14,640 --> 00:34:17,040
Speaker 3: I'm not sure, because that money is supposed to go.

684
00:34:17,719 --> 00:34:20,600
Speaker 12: So my understanding is that there's probably some type of

685
00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:24,600
Speaker 12: caveat that if an employer offers a program that has

686
00:34:24,760 --> 00:34:27,080
Speaker 12: greater if you want to say, like there's a minimum

687
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:30,920
Speaker 12: th freshold. So if a private company's pay family medical

688
00:34:31,000 --> 00:34:33,680
Speaker 12: leave is better than what the state is, maybe they

689
00:34:33,719 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 12: get a break on it. I don't know, but that

690
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:39,319
Speaker 12: that would not be surprising to me that if they

691
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,680
Speaker 12: can qualify to do it on their own at a

692
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 12: higher guaranteed level, that maybe. But I'd like I would

693
00:34:45,360 --> 00:34:47,960
Speaker 12: say with Max, like, you better talk to someone that

694
00:34:48,080 --> 00:34:52,120
Speaker 12: understands the law, because for the vast majority of people

695
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 12: that's not an option.

696
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:56,399
Speaker 2: You just have to take the payroll tax.

697
00:34:56,560 --> 00:35:01,520
Speaker 1: I am very curious to know if anybody yet has

698
00:35:01,640 --> 00:35:06,880
Speaker 1: gone through with a fine tooth comb the details of

699
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:09,920
Speaker 1: paid family medical leave and tried to find a way

700
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:12,680
Speaker 1: kind of like what he was mentioning here to I'm

701
00:35:12,719 --> 00:35:14,080
Speaker 1: gonna be honest, just to game it.

702
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,560
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's infuriated and I'm not this.

703
00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:20,759
Speaker 1: This, this piece of legislation is probably for me personally,

704
00:35:20,840 --> 00:35:23,000
Speaker 1: like one of the most infuriating ones that I have

705
00:35:23,320 --> 00:35:23,879
Speaker 1: ever seen.

706
00:35:24,160 --> 00:35:26,400
Speaker 2: The fact that we have no say in this. I

707
00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:27,200
Speaker 2: have more.

708
00:35:27,040 --> 00:35:30,560
Speaker 1: Money, essentially making less money this year than I was

709
00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:32,640
Speaker 1: last year because the state is taking it from me

710
00:35:32,760 --> 00:35:37,080
Speaker 1: for something that I essentially can't use. I mean I could,

711
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:40,160
Speaker 1: but I would never do that. Yes to iHeartRadio. I've

712
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:42,800
Speaker 1: mentioned it several times. Not only would it be detrimental

713
00:35:42,840 --> 00:35:45,080
Speaker 1: for me to take that amount of time from my show,

714
00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:48,480
Speaker 1: but to the sales staff that's you know out there,

715
00:35:48,800 --> 00:35:51,440
Speaker 1: you know, getting advertisements and endorsements for the show, it

716
00:35:51,440 --> 00:35:53,799
Speaker 1: would be absolutely devastating to everybody.

717
00:35:53,920 --> 00:35:55,920
Speaker 2: And yet I and yet we have no say in this.

718
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:56,839
Speaker 2: It's infuriating.

719
00:35:56,920 --> 00:35:58,960
Speaker 12: Well, that's because you actually care about the place that

720
00:35:59,040 --> 00:36:01,440
Speaker 12: you work and you have pride in the job that

721
00:36:01,480 --> 00:36:02,000
Speaker 12: you takes.

722
00:36:02,000 --> 00:36:04,160
Speaker 2: Man, the truth is a lot of people don't.

723
00:36:04,320 --> 00:36:06,920
Speaker 12: Okay, a lot of people they're just like, this is

724
00:36:06,960 --> 00:36:09,160
Speaker 12: a paycheck, I'm going to go do my thing. They

725
00:36:09,200 --> 00:36:13,080
Speaker 12: obviously like like their employers, like their their their employees,

726
00:36:13,120 --> 00:36:15,440
Speaker 12: their colleagues to a point, but at the end of

727
00:36:15,480 --> 00:36:18,280
Speaker 12: the day, man like you're if you create a system

728
00:36:18,320 --> 00:36:21,480
Speaker 12: that incentivizes people that act in bad faith, don't be

729
00:36:21,560 --> 00:36:24,120
Speaker 12: surprised when everyone acts in bad faith. Yeah, and there

730
00:36:24,160 --> 00:36:26,600
Speaker 12: are going to be very few people that are like, oh, on.

731
00:36:26,760 --> 00:36:28,440
Speaker 2: The principle of it, I'm.

732
00:36:28,280 --> 00:36:31,000
Speaker 12: Not going to take advantage of a system that allows

733
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:32,480
Speaker 12: me to take advantage of it. That's just not the

734
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:36,280
Speaker 12: way that humans interact. Because again, then nature of man

735
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:39,040
Speaker 12: is the question. And Democrats seem to believe that all

736
00:36:39,120 --> 00:36:42,200
Speaker 12: humans are good if they're just given the resources, whereas

737
00:36:42,200 --> 00:36:44,799
Speaker 12: we believe that, yeah, every human has a capacity to

738
00:36:44,840 --> 00:36:45,560
Speaker 12: do good and evil.

739
00:36:45,760 --> 00:36:47,120
Speaker 2: A lot of people choose to do evil.

740
00:36:47,160 --> 00:36:48,880
Speaker 1: All right, Before we turn our attention over to the

741
00:36:48,880 --> 00:36:53,160
Speaker 1: gun bills that'll be disgusted today and the legislature, and

742
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:56,440
Speaker 1: let's get back to your iHeartRadio app talkbacks this morning. Again,

743
00:36:56,600 --> 00:36:58,920
Speaker 1: a lot of comments rolling in on quicksand, so thank.

744
00:36:58,719 --> 00:36:59,319
Speaker 2: You Max for that.

745
00:37:01,120 --> 00:37:04,600
Speaker 1: Everyone remembers the quicksand in the Princess Bride when they

746
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:06,920
Speaker 1: travel through the fire swamp, it was a fire.

747
00:37:06,719 --> 00:37:08,319
Speaker 2: Swamp, that's right. I'd forgotten about that.

748
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:12,719
Speaker 15: My fear of quicksand was directly for Gilligan's Island.

749
00:37:12,719 --> 00:37:15,360
Speaker 1: Hard to hear their Gilligan's Isles Island. Yeah, that was

750
00:37:15,560 --> 00:37:17,640
Speaker 1: That was a common trope on Gilligan's Island. You think

751
00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:19,400
Speaker 1: they would have found it and then avoided it and

752
00:37:19,440 --> 00:37:21,960
Speaker 1: put something up around it to don't walk into winds.

753
00:37:22,160 --> 00:37:23,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, makeshift fence.

754
00:37:24,760 --> 00:37:27,680
Speaker 11: Rick and Rose Mount here. Quicksand was just in the

755
00:37:27,719 --> 00:37:30,839
Speaker 11: news a couple of weeks ago somebody was rescued out

756
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:34,120
Speaker 11: of quicksand, and I remember it was in all the

757
00:37:34,200 --> 00:37:40,440
Speaker 11: Western Almost every Western had quicksand in it more than everybody.

758
00:37:40,440 --> 00:37:43,520
Speaker 2: It's Chad and Dellan all. Yeah.

759
00:37:43,520 --> 00:37:46,759
Speaker 15: I looked up the Permu to Triangle just out of curiosity,

760
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:51,960
Speaker 15: and Google says that anywhere from twenty to over one

761
00:37:52,040 --> 00:37:54,880
Speaker 15: hundred planes have crashed there in the last century.

762
00:37:55,360 --> 00:37:58,759
Speaker 2: So I don't know why, how it's that big about you.

763
00:37:58,719 --> 00:38:03,200
Speaker 15: Know, number between Maybe maybe not, but yeah, it sounds

764
00:38:03,239 --> 00:38:03,960
Speaker 15: like a whole bunch.

765
00:38:04,800 --> 00:38:07,080
Speaker 2: So yeah, more than two or three. Oh, I know

766
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:08,279
Speaker 2: a lot of planes crashed in there.

767
00:38:08,320 --> 00:38:10,360
Speaker 1: Like I said, I just figured, with our modern technology,

768
00:38:10,360 --> 00:38:12,239
Speaker 1: we should have been able to go and figure this

769
00:38:12,280 --> 00:38:12,799
Speaker 1: out by now.

770
00:38:12,800 --> 00:38:13,840
Speaker 2: And I completely forgot.

771
00:38:13,880 --> 00:38:17,920
Speaker 1: We have our resident conspiracy theorist on all things, these

772
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:21,840
Speaker 1: type of quirky whether it's aliens or Remuwa triangle. Ak Kamara,

773
00:38:21,920 --> 00:38:23,400
Speaker 1: your thoughts on the end of the listen.

774
00:38:23,719 --> 00:38:25,880
Speaker 12: The reason why you're not hearing more about it is

775
00:38:25,920 --> 00:38:28,160
Speaker 12: because technology is now advanced to the point that you

776
00:38:28,280 --> 00:38:31,399
Speaker 12: can show that this actually is like an interdimensional gait.

777
00:38:31,800 --> 00:38:33,960
Speaker 2: This is how the demons.

778
00:38:33,560 --> 00:38:36,080
Speaker 12: Get here man the international transmensional you.

779
00:38:36,040 --> 00:38:37,800
Speaker 2: Know, demons that they come through the gates.

780
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,080
Speaker 12: You know. As a kid, though, like the Bermuda Triangle,

781
00:38:40,080 --> 00:38:43,160
Speaker 12: it really did fascinate me, and it's because there's some

782
00:38:43,239 --> 00:38:48,319
Speaker 12: type of difference in the electromagnetic Uh I don't know,

783
00:38:48,400 --> 00:38:52,319
Speaker 12: like even right now, there's conversations about what are we

784
00:38:52,400 --> 00:38:55,840
Speaker 12: doing with our weakening magnetosphere and there is a huge

785
00:38:55,880 --> 00:39:00,239
Speaker 12: hole right like there's radiation that is getting in and

786
00:39:00,360 --> 00:39:02,839
Speaker 12: hitting Earth at a higher rate, and it turns out

787
00:39:02,920 --> 00:39:05,759
Speaker 12: that the weakening is over where the Bermuda Triangle is like,

788
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:09,080
Speaker 12: so I think that there's something there, But then the

789
00:39:09,160 --> 00:39:12,120
Speaker 12: conspiracy part of me is like, well, yeah, it's because

790
00:39:12,200 --> 00:39:14,600
Speaker 12: they now are just going to pretend that nothing's there,

791
00:39:14,600 --> 00:39:18,879
Speaker 12: because very simple observations could prove that they're doing stuff there.

792
00:39:19,239 --> 00:39:21,719
Speaker 12: So that's what I personally think that they they have

793
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:23,160
Speaker 12: They had been there for.

794
00:39:23,120 --> 00:39:23,680
Speaker 2: A long time.

795
00:39:23,760 --> 00:39:28,840
Speaker 12: That's where like Tupac is probably Epstein's there, you know,

796
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:30,320
Speaker 12: Michael Jackson's there.

797
00:39:30,600 --> 00:39:32,720
Speaker 2: You know, they're all just chilling the Bermuda triangle.

798
00:39:32,800 --> 00:39:35,880
Speaker 3: Bit hey, real quick, just to confirm here, I got

799
00:39:35,920 --> 00:39:39,279
Speaker 3: a text from Senator Andrew Lang shout out him. If

800
00:39:39,280 --> 00:39:41,279
Speaker 3: a business owner meets the requirements, they can go to

801
00:39:41,320 --> 00:39:45,040
Speaker 3: a private market or self insure. Either way, either way

802
00:39:46,040 --> 00:39:49,319
Speaker 3: they're still taking money off your bottom line, or you're

803
00:39:49,360 --> 00:39:52,640
Speaker 3: taking money off what you would otherwise pay employees to

804
00:39:52,880 --> 00:39:55,600
Speaker 3: put into that fund. It is still it's a self

805
00:39:55,640 --> 00:39:57,359
Speaker 3: imposed tax, if you will.

806
00:39:57,480 --> 00:40:00,000
Speaker 1: So what happens if okay, so so of a business?

807
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:00,400
Speaker 2: Business?

808
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:03,120
Speaker 1: And I fully understand that you may not know the answer

809
00:40:03,160 --> 00:40:04,640
Speaker 1: to this question because I'm asking it to you on

810
00:40:04,680 --> 00:40:09,920
Speaker 1: the fly. But if a business pays into this employees

811
00:40:10,160 --> 00:40:12,960
Speaker 1: and the company, but yet nobody uses it, where does

812
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:13,560
Speaker 1: that money go.

813
00:40:14,920 --> 00:40:16,440
Speaker 2: From the business or to the state.

814
00:40:18,480 --> 00:40:20,600
Speaker 3: Yeah, so in lou in lieu of paying to the state,

815
00:40:20,680 --> 00:40:23,680
Speaker 3: though you can pay into a fund to the same rate,

816
00:40:23,880 --> 00:40:25,279
Speaker 3: you know that you would be able to cover.

817
00:40:25,880 --> 00:40:28,440
Speaker 1: So let's just say, for the let's just say for

818
00:40:28,480 --> 00:40:31,160
Speaker 1: the sake of argument, there's a business, they have ten employees,

819
00:40:31,200 --> 00:40:34,200
Speaker 1: the ten employees and the companies paying into paid family

820
00:40:34,200 --> 00:40:36,279
Speaker 1: medical leave all year long, but none of the ten

821
00:40:36,320 --> 00:40:39,359
Speaker 1: employees take advantage of it all year but they've gone.

822
00:40:39,440 --> 00:40:42,640
Speaker 3: And my guess is, and someone can chime in if

823
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:45,360
Speaker 3: I'm wrong, my guess is that is treated as a

824
00:40:45,360 --> 00:40:48,000
Speaker 3: black box. You can't use that money for so it's

825
00:40:48,400 --> 00:40:50,799
Speaker 3: just to suggest it's lighting it on fire.

826
00:40:50,840 --> 00:40:51,680
Speaker 2: Basically, So if.

827
00:40:51,560 --> 00:40:53,799
Speaker 12: I put on my insurance hat and understand that the

828
00:40:53,800 --> 00:40:56,520
Speaker 12: purpose of insurance is to be able to bring you

829
00:40:56,560 --> 00:40:59,479
Speaker 12: back approximately to where you were before the loss occurred, you.

830
00:40:59,400 --> 00:41:00,920
Speaker 2: Actually can't profit from it.

831
00:41:01,200 --> 00:41:04,680
Speaker 12: And so most policies where you put money into a thing,

832
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:08,000
Speaker 12: there's going to be a long period of time where

833
00:41:08,000 --> 00:41:10,799
Speaker 12: it maybe the person that is putting money into it

834
00:41:10,840 --> 00:41:13,600
Speaker 12: can be indemnified, but it typically has to be when

835
00:41:13,640 --> 00:41:16,360
Speaker 12: the program ends. And since this is a state mandate,

836
00:41:16,680 --> 00:41:19,279
Speaker 12: I imagine that the money just continues to go into it.

837
00:41:19,320 --> 00:41:22,399
Speaker 12: So if you're an insurance company, you probably would love

838
00:41:22,440 --> 00:41:24,799
Speaker 12: this because you're going to be flushed with cash from

839
00:41:24,800 --> 00:41:27,200
Speaker 12: small businesses that don't use it. But on the other

840
00:41:27,360 --> 00:41:29,440
Speaker 12: end of it, I think that it's kind of a

841
00:41:29,480 --> 00:41:32,560
Speaker 12: canard because let's just say everyone decides okay, I'm going

842
00:41:32,600 --> 00:41:35,000
Speaker 12: to start using the private market. I'm telling you that

843
00:41:35,080 --> 00:41:37,480
Speaker 12: the rate that you're then going to have to submit

844
00:41:37,560 --> 00:41:40,480
Speaker 12: premiums for in order to have coverage is going to

845
00:41:40,520 --> 00:41:43,120
Speaker 12: continue to go up as more and more people use

846
00:41:43,160 --> 00:41:45,880
Speaker 12: it and they actually have to use the program. So

847
00:41:46,400 --> 00:41:49,160
Speaker 12: I think that it's in the same vein that you

848
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:51,840
Speaker 12: have to create an OFFMAMP to allow people the ability

849
00:41:51,880 --> 00:41:54,960
Speaker 12: to sell fund but it will destroy that marketplace to

850
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,000
Speaker 12: the point that they come back and say, we can

851
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:00,439
Speaker 12: no longer afford these premiums, and we're paying in significantly more,

852
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:03,000
Speaker 12: so now we are forced to have to contribute to

853
00:42:03,040 --> 00:42:03,440
Speaker 12: the state.

854
00:42:03,800 --> 00:42:05,680
Speaker 2: And I think that they make these things by design.

855
00:42:05,719 --> 00:42:08,520
Speaker 12: I think that the people that develop, whether we're talking

856
00:42:08,560 --> 00:42:11,759
Speaker 12: about Obamacare or we're talking about paid family Medical Leave,

857
00:42:12,200 --> 00:42:14,640
Speaker 12: they're trying to make it that the government has to

858
00:42:14,680 --> 00:42:17,920
Speaker 12: take over something when the need is so high the

859
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:21,320
Speaker 12: average everyday people are like, if we don't fund this program,

860
00:42:21,400 --> 00:42:24,480
Speaker 12: I am completely in a bad spot. And it's because

861
00:42:24,480 --> 00:42:26,200
Speaker 12: you become dependent upon it.

862
00:42:26,200 --> 00:42:29,120
Speaker 1: It's paid Family Medical Leave talk and quicksand here on

863
00:42:29,160 --> 00:42:31,640
Speaker 1: Twin City's News Talk this morning, and some quicksand is.

864
00:42:31,560 --> 00:42:35,080
Speaker 16: A Hollywood trope, but the best use of it was

865
00:42:35,160 --> 00:42:40,360
Speaker 16: in Blazing Saddles by mel Brooks. You gotta save the

866
00:42:40,440 --> 00:42:43,440
Speaker 16: hand car, but go ahead and leave the workers in

867
00:42:43,480 --> 00:42:46,160
Speaker 16: the Quicksand every time.

868
00:42:46,000 --> 00:42:48,319
Speaker 1: I see that available in streaming and I think it's

869
00:42:48,320 --> 00:42:50,480
Speaker 1: on Peacock. Now if I'm not mistaken, I'm still just

870
00:42:50,560 --> 00:42:51,640
Speaker 1: stunned by that movie.

871
00:42:51,760 --> 00:42:53,880
Speaker 2: Is yeah, they have it plays.

872
00:42:55,040 --> 00:42:58,080
Speaker 12: So there's a there's a station that's on basically the

873
00:42:58,080 --> 00:43:01,480
Speaker 12: the antenna TV that you can watch. It's called Outlaw Channel,

874
00:43:01,600 --> 00:43:03,359
Speaker 12: and it was playing the other day. I was like, oh,

875
00:43:03,400 --> 00:43:04,200
Speaker 12: this is this is.

876
00:43:04,360 --> 00:43:06,680
Speaker 2: Crazy Outlaw Channel. Outlaw Channel.

877
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:09,480
Speaker 12: It's it's it's a newer thing, but they always play

878
00:43:09,560 --> 00:43:13,279
Speaker 12: like westerns. And just the other day they're playing that

879
00:43:13,360 --> 00:43:15,839
Speaker 12: movie with Mel Gibson where he's like his name's last

880
00:43:15,880 --> 00:43:16,879
Speaker 12: name is Maverick.

881
00:43:16,520 --> 00:43:19,239
Speaker 2: And yeah it's it's called Maverick. Okay. But see this

882
00:43:19,320 --> 00:43:19,680
Speaker 2: is the thing.

883
00:43:20,320 --> 00:43:22,920
Speaker 12: I have it on just in the background, basically in

884
00:43:22,920 --> 00:43:25,800
Speaker 12: my garage studio, and so I never catch the beginning

885
00:43:25,880 --> 00:43:27,680
Speaker 12: or the end of a movie, so I usually never

886
00:43:27,800 --> 00:43:28,760
Speaker 12: know what it's called.

887
00:43:29,080 --> 00:43:30,799
Speaker 2: And of course I'm not going to press guide and.

888
00:43:30,880 --> 00:43:33,320
Speaker 12: See, but I will say this, I think that humans

889
00:43:33,320 --> 00:43:36,440
Speaker 12: have a fear of being buried alive. So quicksand I

890
00:43:36,440 --> 00:43:38,759
Speaker 12: think is a nice way to be Like, what if

891
00:43:38,800 --> 00:43:41,919
Speaker 12: there was this thing that could bear you alive out

892
00:43:41,920 --> 00:43:44,520
Speaker 12: of nowhere, because like if someone knocks you out and

893
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:46,440
Speaker 12: throws you in a pit and starts putting sand on you,

894
00:43:46,640 --> 00:43:48,479
Speaker 12: that's not very likely, but out of nowhere.

895
00:43:48,560 --> 00:43:52,520
Speaker 2: Yeah, man, Morning John TJ from North Side.

896
00:43:52,560 --> 00:43:56,760
Speaker 7: Again, I regret bringing a quicksand because now everyone's talking

897
00:43:56,760 --> 00:43:59,080
Speaker 7: about it. But I think part of the problem with

898
00:43:59,440 --> 00:44:00,880
Speaker 7: people inquicksand we're.

899
00:44:00,760 --> 00:44:02,800
Speaker 2: Mixing it up with bogs.

900
00:44:03,640 --> 00:44:07,120
Speaker 7: Remember how if you go up in northern Minnesota and

901
00:44:07,200 --> 00:44:10,919
Speaker 7: they find Indian bones and animals and bobs. I think

902
00:44:11,120 --> 00:44:14,560
Speaker 7: people fix up box and quicksand as well.

903
00:44:15,560 --> 00:44:17,480
Speaker 2: Is this a circumstance where.

904
00:44:18,920 --> 00:44:24,120
Speaker 1: Some quicksands can be bogs but not all bogs or quicksand?

905
00:44:24,280 --> 00:44:26,560
Speaker 2: I think so something like that, because I.

906
00:44:26,480 --> 00:44:28,680
Speaker 1: Don't know the difference between them, because I think I

907
00:44:28,680 --> 00:44:30,960
Speaker 1: think a bog is just like a layer of plant

908
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:34,000
Speaker 1: material that's on top of the water. To me, Yeah,

909
00:44:34,200 --> 00:44:36,600
Speaker 1: a bob to me would be something that is not

910
00:44:36,880 --> 00:44:40,840
Speaker 1: just the quicksand, but it's also the environment as you

911
00:44:40,880 --> 00:44:44,920
Speaker 1: were mentioning around the peat moss, yeah, yeah, and fog

912
00:44:45,080 --> 00:44:47,920
Speaker 1: and dense fogs and things of this nature.

913
00:44:48,000 --> 00:44:50,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, you have this scenario built out your head as

914
00:44:50,600 --> 00:44:52,799
Speaker 2: an eight year old. There's gonna be fog and.

915
00:44:52,760 --> 00:44:54,279
Speaker 3: I'm not gonna be able to see, and then I'm

916
00:44:54,280 --> 00:44:58,000
Speaker 3: gonna start in the bog and my foot's gonna get stuck,

917
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:00,000
Speaker 3: and then my other foot's gonna get stuck in quicks

918
00:45:00,120 --> 00:45:03,239
Speaker 3: and then I'm gonna be transported to the Bermuda Triangle,

919
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:07,560
Speaker 3: where then I'll be disappeared by interdimensional aliens, and then

920
00:45:07,560 --> 00:45:09,759
Speaker 3: then the sun is gonna explode.

921
00:45:10,320 --> 00:45:12,080
Speaker 1: And if I survive all of that, they're gonna take

922
00:45:12,120 --> 00:45:14,520
Speaker 1: my money from me. With paid family medical.

923
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:20,560
Speaker 2: We're gonna get forty million dollars to illegal race. Good morning, John.

924
00:45:20,680 --> 00:45:24,040
Speaker 17: There was an article I read this week or last

925
00:45:24,080 --> 00:45:26,279
Speaker 17: week about a guy in Florida that got stuck in

926
00:45:26,360 --> 00:45:29,480
Speaker 17: quicksand all the way up to his neck. Prog rescuers

927
00:45:29,600 --> 00:45:31,040
Speaker 17: several hours to free him.

928
00:45:31,440 --> 00:45:33,120
Speaker 1: You know what, at this point in time, I just

929
00:45:33,160 --> 00:45:34,719
Speaker 1: I need to take a week and just not prep

930
00:45:34,760 --> 00:45:35,080
Speaker 1: it all.

931
00:45:35,280 --> 00:45:36,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm not gonna prep it all.

932
00:45:36,440 --> 00:45:38,239
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna start a conversation and we'll just see

933
00:45:38,239 --> 00:45:38,759
Speaker 1: where it goes.

934
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:42,239
